New Build FeedBack

Any feedback would be apprciated before I pull the trigger and buy it. I am buying all my parts from newegg.

I will be pulling my sound card and dvd drive from my old computer.

The processor won't fit the motherboard.  The motherboard is LGA 1156, and you need LGA 1155.

The power supply is rather old and very overpriced.  Try one of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

The last two are almost exactly the same thing.

I don't like the value for the money on the video card.  You can get a GeForce GTX 560 Ti for much cheaper than that:

Or also for cheaper, you can get a premium cooler:

Or an arguably nicer Radeon HD 6950:

If you do stay with the EVGA card, then you should realize that you're paying a considerable price premium for it being EVGA.  Don't expect superior reliability in return, either, as EVGA can't eliminate the risks intrinsic to overclocking the top bin of a GPU chip.

If you're not getting an SSD, then you might want a WD Caviar Black hard drive, which is faster than what you picked.

You'll also need an OS license.

I've just bought this.

I looked at the Asus Pro series, but I heard Asus boards often had problems.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131730

16% of the buyers giving out 1 egg and having RMA issues... I know people are more likely to sit down and write if they have complaints, but that turned me of buying Asus.

I went for p67, I want sli and overclocking pretty much. I don't want the Sandybridge graphics and am just glad I don't need to fool around in the BIOS turning that of.

FWIW I've had good luck with Asus, I haven't used that specific board though - and they generally get good reviews from actual Hardware Review sites.

Gigabyte and MSI are also companies with pretty solid reputations.

I take reviews from actual purchase sites with a grain of salt - they aren't to be ignored, but it's just too easy for them to be falsified (and tech companies have been caught red-handed before, both fluffing their own products and downgrading the competition).

And ironically, AsRock was spun off from Asus as their low-end OEM division (2002). They have been coming back with more enthusiast-level products recently, but it's just been recently that they've had anything worth writing home about.
